Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a game controller button, in particular to a game controller button identification switching module. Background Art

[0002] At present, the existing game controller button identification switching mechanism adopts the structure disclosed in the utility model patent with the Chinese patent publication number CN220213869U and the name "Game Controller and Device". Through the cooperation of an adjustment disk and a driving component, the adjustment disk can be driven to rotate as needed, so that any one of a first light-transmitting area and a second light-transmitting area corresponds to between a transparent button and a light source, and the content in the first light-transmitting area or the second light-transmitting area will be correspondingly displayed on the transparent button. Thus, the adjustment of the button can be realized by adjusting the content displayed on the transparent button, enabling the game controller to adapt to different game consoles, effectively improving the adaptability of the game controller, and also effectively improving the user experience. However, the structure designed has many components and is complex. It not only occupies the interior of the game controller, but also the number of changes in button identification is extremely limited. For example, the technical solution disclosed in the aforementioned utility model with the Chinese patent publication number CN 220213869U and the name "Game Controller and Device" can only include two groups of different button identifications. Therefore, researching and developing a game controller button identification switching module has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0021] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Embodiment 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, a game controller button identifier switching module includes a button main body 1 and a display screen 2. The button main body 1 is a single button, and the button main body 1 is provided with a transparent key cap 3. The display screen 2 is installed inside the transparent key cap 3, the front side of the display screen 2 faces the end face of the transparent button, and the display screen 2 passes through the bottom opening of the transparent key cap 3 or the side opening 4 of the transparent key cap 3 (as shown in the drawing, it passes through from the side opening of the transparent key cap) through a flexible wire 7 and is connected to the display screen connection terminal 5 on the PCB board 8.

[0023] Working principle: This embodiment does not have a manual switching mechanism (switching button or switching knob). During operation, when the game controller is connected to different types of game consoles, the single-chip microcomputer on the PCB board 8 immediately automatically identifies the type of the connected game console, and displays the button identifier corresponding to this game console on the display screen 2. The button identifier can be "letters", "numbers", "Chinese characters", "patterns", etc. Theoretically, the number of button identifiers is not limited and can be preset according to the actual required quantity.

[0024] Embodiment 2: As Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, a game controller button identifier switching module includes a button body 1 and a display screen 2. The button body 1 is a button group, and the button group includes four buttons. Each button is provided with a transparent keycap 3, and a display screen 2 is installed inside each transparent keycap 3. The front of the display screen 2 faces the end face of the transparent button. The display screen 2 passes through the bottom opening of the transparent keycap 3 or the side opening 4 of the transparent keycap 3 through a flexible wiring 7 (as shown in the attached drawing, it passes through the side opening 4 of the transparent keycap 3), and is connected to the display screen connection terminal 5 on the PCB board 8.

[0025] Working principle: This embodiment does not have a manual switching mechanism (switching button or switching knob). During operation, when the game controller is connected to different types of game consoles, the single-chip microcomputer on the PCB board 8 immediately automatically identifies the type of the connected game console, and displays the identifier of the corresponding button group (four buttons) of this game console on the display screen 2. The button identifiers of the button group include but are not limited to the following several types: The first type: A, B, X, Y; The second type: 1, 2, 3, 4; The third type: square, triangle, cross, circle; The fourth type: left arrow, up arrow, right arrow, down arrow. Of course, the positions / orders of the identifiers in each group of the foregoing button identifiers can also be swapped and reorganized according to actual needs.

[0026] Embodiment 3: As Figure 5 , Figure 6 shown, a game controller button identifier switching module includes a button body 1 and a display screen 2. The button body 1 is a button group, and the button group includes four buttons. Each button is provided with a transparent keycap 3, and a display screen 2 is installed inside each transparent keycap 3. The front of the display screen 2 faces the end face of the transparent button. The display screen 2 passes through the bottom opening of the transparent keycap 3 or the side opening 4 of the transparent keycap 3 through a flexible wiring 7 (as shown in the attached drawing, it passes through the side opening 4 of the transparent keycap 3), and is connected to the display screen connection terminal 5 on the PCB board 8. A switching button or a switching knob 6 for controlling the switching of the display content of the display screen 2 is provided on the PCB board 8.

[0027] Working principle: This embodiment is provided with a manual switching mechanism (a switching button or a switching knob 6). During operation, in the default mode, when the gamepad is connected to different types of game consoles, the single-chip microcomputer on the PCB board 8 immediately automatically identifies the type of the connected game console, and displays the identification of the corresponding button group (four buttons) of the game console on the display screen 2. When playing a game on the same game console, if a gamer needs to change the button identification, the button identification can be manually switched through the switching button or the switching knob 6. The button identifications of the button group include, but are not limited to, the following several types: The first type: A, B, X, Y; the second type: 1, 2, 3, 4; the third type: square, triangle, cross, circle; the fourth type: left arrow, up arrow, right arrow, down arrow. Of course, the positions / orders of the identifications in each of the foregoing groups of button identifications can also be swapped and reorganized according to actual needs.
